A-Rod Goes Commercial
Filed under: Madonna > Zportz > Kate Hudson > Alex Rodriguez
Sounds like he may get a second chance with this new image of his!
Yankees player Alex Rodriguez used to have quite the shady reputation with steroid and stripper scandals, a messy public divorce, gallivanting with Madonna and being what some might call ungrateful for his giant contract.
Basically advertisers wanted nothing to do with him.
But A-Rod has seemingly cleaned up his act and with a World Series win under his belt he's looking much more marketable these days. His Hollywood actress girlfriend Kate Hudson seems to be helping his image, too, being billed as his good luck charm.
He just has to make wise choices as to the advertising direction he wants to go. Experts think he would be a good match for an electronics company but under no circumstances should he endorse anything having to do with "performance" lest we think he's on the 'roids again!
Richard Yaffa, cheif executive of GroupM's entertainment, sports and cause partnerships says of A-Rod:
"His stock has improved in New York. This next period of time will determine if he has national potential."
What do U think?

is he black? or…mexican…or white…something?
Yankee's win Yankee's win Yankee's win fuck the Met's that”s what I think.
I think A-Rod is a worthless douche! Enough said!
The only reason this guy is "marketable" is because the Yankees won the world series and he's dating Goldie's daughter. When he and Kate Hudson break up (and they WILL), he won't be anymore.
…when did he get cheek implants?
i live in nyc and i'm disgusted with this.
i guess if you "perform" in the World Series,
all is forgiven.
Fucking steroid using cheater!! Piece of shit ASSROD!
he's a juiced-up, herpetic manwhore. fuck him. and fuck his herpetic, spoilt bitch girlfriend. they both suck ass.
His Dominican ass is hot as f*cking hell!
He'll always have a big ego. I dont care who he dates. That's just how he is. I just saw him on the float at the Yankee parade with JayZ and a fedora on his head, no Kate.
Congratulations Yankees!
Re: tigrrrlilly – couldnt have said it better myself!! lol high five
Re: LizardKinG – what's the Mets gotta do with this? they didn't even beat the Mets to win. grow up.
fuck A-Roid. You should be talking about the WS MVP Hideki Matsui and what an accomplishment it was to be the first Japanese man to become a WS MVP, and not about the cheater who barely skated through the world series and who everyone hates. FUCK a-roid. NEXXXXT
Re: LizardKinG –
wooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Yea…YankeezRe: tigrrrlilly –
hehehehe…u r zo damn right
Madonnaz zloppy zecondz…nice///
Re: TheRussianOne – 14 Good point!
FUCK THAT DOUCHEBAG ASSHOLE!!!
Once a douch, always a douch……
I think he should show peen.
I guess everyone deserves a second chance, but he is not a person I will ever admire.
In fact, he has made me lose respect for Kate Hudson too.
Kate Hudson is NOT a good luck charm, the man is an ATHLETE, he did what is his JOB, no bitch has ANYTHING to do with that….that whole good luck charm bullshit is so fucking STUPID.
When is someone gonna finally push GAY-Rod out of the closet already???????
Once a douche, always a douche. Just because the Yankees won doesn't mean he's a hero now! Plus, he thinks he's a centaur. Who would want him representing their company? Nobody I know would buy those products.
Re: tasty dish – if you knew anything about NY baseball you would know that the Yankee's and Met's fan hate each others team. that's what it has to do with this…GO YANKEES …..WOOT.
ew, he's so ugly……isn't it about time we stopped using the word "actress" in association with Kate's name? She not only LOOKS like her mom, she has the same career track: a BSA Oscar, and then pffft….Goldie had Cactus Flower (in which she played herself) and Kate Almost Famous…..Kate has done only crap since. And here's a guy who should be spending time with his REALLY young children, and he just plays ball and parties. ugh.
yes: go Hideki!
or whoever.
There is NO MORE BORING SPORT than baseball, ever, since the beginning of time.
What's with the bullet hole in his left cheek?
He's Dominican and he is HOT!!!!
Re: originalTink – He's from the dominican republic…So a combination of black, hispanic (spanish/indian acestry) and he probably had a white parent or had a parent with blue/green eyes.
Re: originalTink – mexican is not a race, dumbass. and why does it matter? he's definitely 'something' as you put it - we all are.
Re: LizardKinG – i live in nyc…you don't have to preach to me about NY baseball. that wasn't my point. my point is that why can't Yankee fans just celebrate without being obnoxious, arrogant pricks? you and your moronic comments are exhibit A.
Yatsci 46 ms b
all athletes have egos. just saying.
He's a piece of crap! Big deal, the Skankees bought a World Series…nothing new there…..and finally, he is soooooo not good looking. I don't know what anyone sees in him. He's a jerk!
MY GOD he's HAWT!
hot Dominican, yum
I think the Madison Ave people are over thinking this. SAVE THE CORPORATIONS
FROM THEMSELVES!
i say screw a-rod…stick with marketing jeter
I second that opinion. All athletes have strong egos some are just better at hiding them or they don't say much and people assume they are humble…
Le's see he has game with women hmmm Do I like or a hate? I like, I am a mannnn. He is dating Kate Hudson hmmm..Do I like or hate? I like it very much…Maybe it is a latin thing to like Kate Hudson because find her super sexy and all my Latin friends do also….Go Alex Rodriguezzzz
